Online publication is made possible by Open Journal Systems and close cooperation with a team of experts at the Rush Rhees Library, University of Rochester.  Parallel publication of the journal in printed format will continue during the current volume.  Meanwhile, forty years of back issues (1968-2008) are being integrated into the William Blake Archive.  The work is well underway, and the first installments are expected to appear this year.
